Johnson & Johnson New Brunswick, New Jersey

Senior Patent Counsel (1990 - 1994)

I had full intellectual property responsibility for four companies within J&J:

  • the Vistakon disposable contact lens business,
  • Iolab intraocular lenses,
  • Site Microsurgical ophthalmic surgery,
  • Therakos extracorporeal photopheresis.


I launched a full-scope patent system to identify and protect the intellectual property of the newly formed and fast-growing Vistakon disposable contact lens business.
